Vulnerability Response release notes

For key information on upgrading to Kingston, see the Upgrade impact of reparenting change in the Kingston release [KB0680550] article in the HI Knowledge Base. For an FAQ on the impact of changes to existing instances see the Vulnerability Response: FAQ for Kingston Upgrade [KB0680543] article in the HI Knowledge Base.
When upgrading from a version prior to Kingston, the Vulnerable Items by Remediation Target Status report does not appear in the Vulnerability Response Overview and must be added manually.
Create vulnerable items
Beginning with Kingston patch 6, business services impacted by this vulnerable item. Shown when this information is available in the cmdb record. This information can be entered manually or using the ServiceNow® Service Mapping application. See Service Mapping for more information.
Vulnerability groups and group rules
- You can automate group assignment. See Create vulnerability group rules for details. Also, An example of Associated Vulnerable Group related list on a vulnerable item was uploaded in Create a vulnerability group.
- Beginning with Kingston patch 6, as part of the Vulnerability group rule, you can choose to define the assignment of these vulnerability groups.
Vulnerability Response remediation
Beginning with Kingston patch 6, vulnerability group rules can automate vulnerability group assignments. Due to the large volume in data imports, care should be taken with automated vulnerability group assignment. See Create vulnerability group rules for more information.
- Remediation target rules
  Beginning with Kingston patch 6, remediation target rules define the expected timeframe for remediating a vulnerable item, much like SLAs provide a timeframe for remediating the vulnerability itself. For example, if an asset contains PCI data (credit card data) then the vulnerability on that item needs to be fixed within 30 days according to PCI DSS. See Create or edit remediation target rules for details.
- View the remediation target status of a vulnerable item
  Beginning with Kingston patch 6, when a vulnerable item has nearly reached (or passed) its remediation target date, as defined by a remediation target rule, the vulnerable item record is updated with a status. This information can help the analyst proactively monitor upcoming remediation activities.
- Create or edit remediation target notifications
  Beginning with Kingston patch 6, you can edit the remediation target notification or add new ones. You can specify when to send the notification, who receives the notification, and what content is in the notification.
Using Vulnerability overview reports
'Vulnerable Items by Remediation Target Status' displays the number of Vulnerable Items that are Approaching Target, In-flight, and Past Target.
Tables installed with Vulnerability Response
- Related Business Services [sn_vul_m2m_ci_services]: links CIs to Business Services
- Assignment Rule[sn_vul_vgr_assignment_rule]: contains assignment rules
- Remediation Target Rule [sn_vul_ttr_rule]: contains remediation target rules
- Vulnerability Remediation Status [sn_vul_m2m_ttr_status]: maintains remediation target status of the vulnerable item associated with the remediation target rule
Vulnerable Item [sn_vul_vulnerable_item] had two new changes:
- added a flag for impacted services
- added new columns: ttr_applied_rule, ttr_status, ttr_target_date
KB0683326 has been added to provide more information on NVD data feeds.

Problem	Short description	Description	Steps to reproduce
Forms and Fields PRB1188317 KB0657385	Multiline text fields do not automatically expand if ACLs prevent the current user from writing to the field	Multiline read-only text fields do not automatically expand. This makes the field to appear in only 3 lines, and users have to scroll down/up to read the content.	Log in as an administrator. Add the Description field on an Incident form. Open a closed incident record. Fill with a long text in the Description field. Impersonate its "Assigned to" user. Open that incident. Only three lines are displayed in the description, and users have to scroll up/down to read that text.
Service Catalog: Service Portal Widgets PRB700689 KB0622371	Mandatory label variables do not have asterisks and are not enforced	When a label variable for a catalog item is set to mandatory by either a catalog client script or a catalog UI policy, it is neither displayed as mandatory (denoted by an asterisk) nor enforced in Service Portal. However, mandatory labels work in the backend catalog item view because they are denoted with an asterisk and are enforced upon the catalog item form submission. For more information on the existing types of variables, see Types of variables.	Refer to the listed KB article for details.

Persistence PRB1271291 KB0685223	Documentation overrides do not persist	In sys_documentation, users can override a parent tables' values for child tables. For example, users can set a different label for cmdb_ci_hardware.install_status than they have for cmdb.install_status. However, if users change any documentation values for any of the parent copies of the field, for example, by changing the label for cmdb.install_status, it overwrites any customizations users have made in the child tables. This problem also happens to customized documentation values during an upgrade.	Navigate to sys_documentation for cmdb_ci_hardware.install_status. Change the label, for example, to Hardware Status. Navigate to the form for a hardware record and ensure that install_status is a displayed field. Verify that the field label displays Hardware Status.

Vulnerability Response release notes

For key information on upgrading to Kingston, see the Upgrade impact of reparenting change in the Kingston release [KB0680550] article in the HI Knowledge Base. For an FAQ on the impact of changes to existing instances see the Vulnerability Response: FAQ for Kingston Upgrade [KB0680543] article in the HI Knowledge Base.
When upgrading from a version prior to Kingston, the Vulnerable Items by Remediation Target Status report does not appear in the Vulnerability Response Overview and must be added manually.
Create vulnerable items
Beginning with Kingston patch 6, business services impacted by this vulnerable item. Shown when this information is available in the cmdb record. This information can be entered manually or using the ServiceNow® Service Mapping application. See Service Mapping for more information.
Vulnerability groups and group rules
- You can automate group assignment. See Create vulnerability group rules for details. Also, An example of Associated Vulnerable Group related list on a vulnerable item was uploaded in Create a vulnerability group.
- Beginning with Kingston patch 6, as part of the Vulnerability group rule, you can choose to define the assignment of these vulnerability groups.
Vulnerability Response remediation
Beginning with Kingston patch 6, vulnerability group rules can automate vulnerability group assignments. Due to the large volume in data imports, care should be taken with automated vulnerability group assignment. See Create vulnerability group rules for more information.
- Remediation target rules
  Beginning with Kingston patch 6, remediation target rules define the expected timeframe for remediating a vulnerable item, much like SLAs provide a timeframe for remediating the vulnerability itself. For example, if an asset contains PCI data (credit card data) then the vulnerability on that item needs to be fixed within 30 days according to PCI DSS. See Create or edit remediation target rules for details.
- View the remediation target status of a vulnerable item
  Beginning with Kingston patch 6, when a vulnerable item has nearly reached (or passed) its remediation target date, as defined by a remediation target rule, the vulnerable item record is updated with a status. This information can help the analyst proactively monitor upcoming remediation activities.
- Create or edit remediation target notifications
  Beginning with Kingston patch 6, you can edit the remediation target notification or add new ones. You can specify when to send the notification, who receives the notification, and what content is in the notification.
Using Vulnerability overview reports
'Vulnerable Items by Remediation Target Status' displays the number of Vulnerable Items that are Approaching Target, In-flight, and Past Target.
Tables installed with Vulnerability Response
- Related Business Services [sn_vul_m2m_ci_services]: links CIs to Business Services
- Assignment Rule[sn_vul_vgr_assignment_rule]: contains assignment rules
- Remediation Target Rule [sn_vul_ttr_rule]: contains remediation target rules
- Vulnerability Remediation Status [sn_vul_m2m_ttr_status]: maintains remediation target status of the vulnerable item associated with the remediation target rule
